Along the way, Stevenson troubles our commonsense understanding of what life is and what it means to care for the life of another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough close attention to the images in which we think and dream and through which we understand the world, Stevenson describes a world in which life is beside itself: the name-soul of a teenager who dies in a crash lives again in his friend's newborn baby, a young girl shares a last smoke with a dead friend in a dream, and the possessed hands of a clock spin uncontrollably over its face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn these contexts, humanitarian policies make little sense because they attempt to save lives by merely keeping a body alive. For the Inuit, and perhaps for all of us, life is \"somewhere else,\" and the task is to articulate forms of care for others that are adequate to that truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596764233964,"sku":"9780520282940","price":56.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780520282940-life-beside-itself.jpg?v=1777941021"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/lisa-stevenson.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
